I can't really help set up most tents, the shock corded poles are way too long to handle. If sleeves are used for the poles I can't help at all. So I bought a solo tent, Six Moons - Skyscape Trekker. Weighs just over two pounds, two 45 inch poles hold it upright, easily snapped together and apart. The directions for setup were useless since the fly is attached to the tent itself at the corners. I couldn't figure out the stake attachment points. Finally had to watch 5 separate videos of setup before I could see the key starting point. When I figured that out I had it setup in 5 minutes. I usually grab all my clothes and crawl out to a chair to get dressed. getting dressed one handed in a tent is extremely sweaty and tiring, rolling all over the place. Will be used this weekend at Stanfest Folk Festival in Canso, Nova Scotia. None of my friends are making it so I had to simplify, breakfast will be coffee and breakfast bars, all other meals will be at the site.
That little black attachment point between the two lower right corners allowed me to identify the foot of the tent and stake the fly down first. |
